Y GLASS-CLEANING APPLICATOR.

Application led April 17, 1925. Serial No. 23,369.

This invention Vrelates to a fluid applicator Y for glass or the like and concerns itself with a flexible nipple or the like which Vis adapted for forming the closure for a fluid container and which is so constructed that in use the fluid feeding apertures in the nipple will not tend to close or become clogged so that a sufficient and steady feed of the cleansing fluid may be maintained.

Thev invention comprises the novel structure and combinations hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out and delined in the appended claims. p

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a preferred embodiment! of this` invention and in which similar reference numerals refer to similar features in the different views,

Figure l; is an elevational viewY of a con-Y tainer closed by an applicatorinvolving this invention; Y

Figure 2 is an enlarged top plan view of the A applicator;

Figure 3 is a sectional view upon the line III-III of Figure 2; and Y Figure 4 is a sectional view uponthe line IV-IV of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawings, there is shown a container in the form of a bottle l adapted to contain glasscleansing fluid. An ap-Y plicator 2 is adapted to be attached lover the mouth of the container for eXuding the cleansing fluid Within the container.

This applicator consists of a hollow flexible member open at its lower end and Closed at its upper end except for the fluid feeding apertures 3. The applicator preferably consists of some such material as rubber. Its upper end is preferably of rounded form andV is provided with a plurality of upwardly projecting `segmental arcuate ribs 4 which, in the present instance, lie in the same circle. It will be noted that the fluidl feeding apertures 3 are within the confines of the segment 4.V This segment 4 absorbs PTENT ori-*rca the thrust of the applicator and prevents the fluid feeding closed or clogged.

The lower endpof the applicator is .provided with an annular attaching flange 5 which is adapted for engagement bythe rim of a `Cap 6' threaded upon the neck of the' bottle.

It will bev appreciated that in applying cleansing fluid to a glasssurface, it is necessaryto rub the top or nose of the appli-v cator over the same. Such a rubbing action would interfere with the flow of fluid if it were not for the projecting segments 4 which absorb the thrust and wear and space the fluid feeding lopenings a trifle from the surface of the glass.

I am aware that changesmay be made and' details yof construction may be varied without departing Vfrom the principles of this invention, andI therefore do not purpose limiting the patent'granted hereon, otherwise than necessitated by the scopev of the claims. v Y

I claim as my invention: v '1, In an'applicator of the class described, a hollow flexible. member open at its lower' end and provided with a rounded top having upwardly extending segmental arcuate ribs, and fluid feeding apertures within the confines of said ribs. y

2. An applicator, comprising a flexible member having a lowery annular flange adapted for attachment over the mouth of a rcontainer andhaving an upper rounded surface provided with spaced upwardly eX- tending segmental arcuate ribs, and fluid feeding apertures within the confines of said ribs.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.
